It is possible for you to predict your final mark going into a final exam or assignment for a particular course. This can also help you to prioritize your studies for each course and estimate the grade you will need on your final paper(s) or exam(s) to get the overall mark you desire in the course.
To calculate your final mark, you could use an online application like Ben Eggleston—Grade Calculator or Grade Calc. Here’s how they work:
- Input the assignment/exam weight, which is outlined on your course syllabus, and the grade that you received on that particular assignment or exam,
- Repeat that step for every assignment that you’ve received thus far,
- Input the weight of the final exam/assignment,
- Input the final mark you hope to achieve in the course, and voilà!
Of course, these are just predictions and ways of goal setting. Your marks are not official until they are posted on ACORN.
